Neck Pain

[humble soul]

No wonder I'm a pain in the neck. I suffer neck pain!
I had some cupping done today. It helped. Man I was becoming a barely walking pain zombie.
Got so bad it hurt to think. You become afraid to move. It's a glimpse into what really severe pain must be like. Those frozen on hospital beds for months due to an accident. Actually rehab. must be worst. Pushing thru the pain barrier.
I know my issue is minor in comparison. But it can really can become melodramatic. I haven't swam for 10 days. I need to fix this soon. Otherwise my whole fitness plan goes out the window.

Make pain your friend. That's one piece of advice. Well yeah. "Resistance" the Buddhists call it. Can make pain worse.
Just think of all the different kinds of pain . I will stick to physical here. But physical pain has so many varieties. This year I
-burnt my arm
-cut my finger
-stubbed my toe
-exprienced various tendon strain
-impinged nerve near neck

Just stubbing your toe. Ouch! Then try to walk with a banged up toe. It feels so unnecessary.

Make use of your pain. Prayer. Guess I need to do that.

Sorry to hear you are going through all of this and you are in my prayers brother.

Pain definitely causes one to be irritable, especially with others as well I know at times with this body of mine. Sometimes moist heat and then icing helps. Also a vibrator wrap can feel pretty good. Just some thoughts.

Neck pain is horrible. Hope it's eased off by now.

I had a massage this morning on my neck. Chinese woman. She was quite competent. Made me think how tough her job is. Imagine working 8 hours a day..literally your fingers to the bone..just another wretched job..

And as she got in deep with her fingers. deep into those aching, abused muscles and joints..i made a metaphor in my head. Jesus gets into those deep neglected wounds. Jesus the massage therapist. Jesus the healer. This lady was trying to pull out the weeds in my garden. Get to the roots and give them much needed nutrition. My body had/has become like an old gnarled tree. Refusing to grow anymore. Just twisting itself into unnecessary knots.
We need Jesus the healer, Jesus the masseur everyday. To untangle us. To get to the roots of our pain. To draw out the old, hidden infections. To renew us. To renovate us. So we are firing again on all cylinders. Especially our compassion muscles.

you are allowed to laugh at that last post....I fancy myself as a Christian metaphor writer..?

not laughing I thought it very good.
Glad you got it seen to.

I suffer dental issues, and my dentist are Muslims, Muslims do not care about Christians. I am finding that out the hard way.
